A one-off experience

This is a very unique place suitable for both onsen-pros and beginners. We received a full tutorial in English which made us feel very comfortable and welcome. The mixed bath is huge and stunningly beautiful with several pools, cave, waterfall and natural rocks. It's a real treat. A night dip recommended. Private baths don't need to be booked. You can pick up a key from the reception when it's available although some of them are more popular and therefore busier (one with the river view is worth the wait but do try the "cooking" pots too!). The multi-course meals were great and again, everything was explained as the dishes were served. We wished we could finish everything but it was impossible, especially in the morning. The tea and little snacks in the room were also very nice. Alcohol vending machines for your beer needs and free drinking water mean you don't have to leave the hotel ever unless you really want to. A direct bus from Takayama terminal stops right by the hotel.

The staff is very nice and speak a good english. The private onsens are awesome

The decoration and it is a bit outdated. Need to give some light at the corridor.

The staff, the onsen, and the food

I had an excellent experience due to the scenery, staff and facilities.

The wifi worked intermittently, which is only a small problem. The door to the observation room should automatically close as it is a smoking room and the door was left open sometimes.

The staff were excellent and spoke very good english. The lady on reception, Erica, had particularly good english with a very good accent.
The hot spring baths were excellent.
The other facilities were excellent.

Absolute relax and tradition tasting in the heart of Japanese alps!

The futon was a fit hard (more than they usually are). Although we loved location, a bit isolated if you look for a nearby town to walk through or alternative food.

One of our favourite experiences of our holiday!

Sharing the bathroom was a pain as it was a fair way down the hallway.

Loved the onsens, it was beautiful being in the lovely warm water while it was gently snowing, looking at the wonderful alps. The staff were wonderful and went out of their way to help, even driving us to the bus stop when it was snowing so we wouldn't miss it! Loved the karoake in the bar!

Japanese hospitality as it’s best!

Nothing

The staff was so friendly and helpful. It felt like being a part of the family. They really care and spoil you! The food was outstandingly good. Fresh fish and real japanese food which was fantastic. They explain everything and eating becomes a cultural experience. Also to mention the beautiful onsen which is a nature one huge. There are also 3 private onsen all natural hot springs! One thing to consider is that the place is a bit outside and 1,5h busride from Takayama. A rental car is plus then. It was a superb experience for us and we definitely recommend the place!

Best dinners and hot spring pool on this trip

Lack of information about bus schedule and how to get to the hotel.

We were interested in Takayama Festival and this place is too far away. However, once we were there, we thoroughly enjoyed the hot spring pools and the excellent foods. The nearby Ropeway provided a great view of Hida Mountain range.

Great experience!

No toilet or shower in the room, you have to use the common one AND, surprisingly, no shower at the outdoor onsen as well (it's at the indoor onsen).
When they told us that they could eventually give us a ride to Shin-Hotaka Ropeway ('shuttle service'), it turned out to be the local bus which departed 200m from the hotel (not a problem if you know it in advance, but as we didn't, we had to rush).

Huge room for the 3 of us and one of the best meals we enjoyed in Japan! (it was so much that my mum couldn't finish her breakfast because she was still full from the amazing dinner- including tempura, sashimi, local fish and local beef, etc.)
The check in by their English speaking staff was very informative and detailed.
Don't miss their outdoor onsen and especially not their mixed bath (you get a swimming suit)- we found the cave to be especially nice!

I have to say, it’s perfect to stay here, even only one night.
They also have Chinese stuff could help explain in Chinese. But the stuff 美貴子could speak very fluent English, and always try to give help.
The outdoor hot spring is nice , even it’s mix sexual.
The best private room is No.3 , great location, you could enjoy the river and mountain view.
Both the dinner and breakfast are delicious.
Worth to stay , especially for the reasonable price.
Highly recommend!

Extremely fresh and delicious food - the photos on booking.com are authentic! Hot springs are just amazing, surrounded by mountains and a small river. Bonus: hot springs are open 24/7, so it's possible to relax while enjoying a beautiful view of the night sky. As almost anywhere in Japan, staff provided perfect service at all times. It was worth it to spend 5 hours getting here from Tokyo and we will certainly be back.
